1836 PS$1 Name on Base, J-60 Restrike, Pollock-65, R.5, PR55
PCGS. Die Alignment IV. Second Original (or Restrike of 1837).
Plain edge. (600 coins minted in March 1837). The head of Liberty
is opposite the F in OF, with the eagle flying level after a medal
turn--Walter Breen's definition of Die Alignment IV. This coin is
technically a restrike because it was minted in a year different
than its date; however, it is part of the official mintage of 1837,
and as such, is commonly referred to as the "second original"
issue. All of the coins minted in 1837 were deposited into the U.S.
banking system; and therefore, most of the Die Alignment IV coins
are found in circulated condition. This lightly worn representative
retains some of its original reflective qualities and is accented
in violet, reddish-golden, and aqua toning. The most obvious
distraction is a curving horizontal scratch above the
eagle.(#11227) (PCGS# 11227)
